These are his first vineyard purchases. Sullivan is a Boston-native and a Miami resident.

Both Château Gaby, the 16-hectare Fronsac estate that sits on one of the appellation’s highest limestone ridges, and Château Moya, with 8 hectares in Castillon, have been sold by Canadian former asset manager David Curl.

The Curl family is moving full-time to South Africa, where they own a farm in Elgin.

They will continue to produce single-plot Syrah and pinot noir under the name Moya Meaker.

The 5.5 hectare Château du Parc is a separate sale by Alain Raynaud, wine consultant and former owner of Château Quinault in St-Emilion.

He bought the estate, located in the village of Saint Sulpice de Faleyrans, in 2011. He expanded it a few years later to add some Cabernet Franc to the previously Merlot-dominant wine.
